Official Barefaced Bass Cab Club

It is there, just well hidden. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
Thanks for that. Well hidden indeed! How on earth did you find it through the website? Regardless, I can see no reason for adding a tweeter to what is for me a perfect cab. I love the vintage vibe that comes from the 10cr speakers alone. Best tens I have ever played through. When I want more highs I use a bb2 or sm. Of course, I recognise that others may think differently.

Adding one wouldn't hurt, just open more possibilities....

My main gigging head is a D800+ and I play through one or two Big Baby 2's. The Barefaced 12s are pretty uncolored, so you get out of the speakers what you put into it. I can hear that my One10 has a noticeably warmer tone, at least at low volume. But I haven't gigged with it yet (I need the volume I get from my Big Babys). Neither is better than the other, it just depends on the tone you want.

Since I love the variety of tones I get from my gigging basses, I like that my tone comes through pretty uncolored when I don't use my pedal board. And, when I do use my board, the various tones I get from it come through quite nicely.

I also like that I can run my D800+ as loud as I want and the BB2's just takes it all in stride, even the times where I only used one and turned up the volume.

One more thing, @mmbongo is right about the Deep switch. When I use it, I usually boost the bass a little (as well as the low mids with the frequency set relatively low) and bring up the variable HPF as needed to eliminate any room boom to get very solid, full tone but without any unneeded mud. But if the room isn't boomy, lower the HPF all the way and the BB2's 12xn driver can pump out A LOT of deep, rich low end. :D
